anOF HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND February 8, 2021 Jason Brown County Administrator . 1801 27th Street, Bldg. A Vero Beach, FL 32960 Subject: CARES Act Revised Spending Plan Jason, At this time, the following is our best estimation of expenditures of the total $1,074,322 CARES Act funding that has been allocated to the City of Sebastian: 1. $354,382.00 for COVED Required Direct Expenditures: The City anticipates using this amount as reimbursement for the direct cost we have incurred and expect to continue using for special supplies and equipment needed to handle operations during the pandemic. This includes such expenses as adding technology to connect employees working from home and for conducting remote public. meetings; disinfectant supplies and equipment; wellness guards at workstations serving the public; non -contact thermometers; and other expenses considered necessary to responsibly operate. 2. $125,668.00 to COVED Required Employee Sick Leave/Time: The City anticipates using this allocation as reimbursement for payroll expenses on City of Sebastian employees whose time was diverted to functions substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVED -19 public health emergency and payroll expenses of providing paid sick and paid family and medical leave to enable compliance with COVID-19 public health precautions. 3.. $537,500.00 to COVED -19 Small Businesses and Their Employees Grants: We discontinued this program as of September 20, 2020. We paid $380,000 directly to small business owners impacted by the pandemic, plus another $23,500 to those employees impacted that lived within our City limits and .worked for those small businesses that qualified for those grants. We intend to, give an additional $2,000 those same small business owners we paid before (but only those that were mandated to temporarily close or reduce services). 4. $56,772.00 to COVID-19.Rent and Mortgage Relief: The City ended the application period on December 30, 2020 and has paid all those that qualified. This included a review of previous applications in consideration of the change in guidelines to includepayments that were not past -due and $1,500 per month providing no more than $4,500 was paid. Once again, we appreciate that these funds have been made available. Respectfully, Kenneth W.
